SKT, or Skateboarding, has various disciplines like Street, Vert, Pools and the Mega Ramp. What started out as sidewalk surfing in the 70’s with the forefather skateboard groups like the DogTown and Z-Boys, The Daggers, The Alva Team and the list goes on, has now become one of the largest alternative sports in the world with over 50 million skate-boarders worldwide.
